Komachi, your friendly, neighborhood moderator, did yet another "spit take" upon EJ&ESDM809's news of...
"CN also removed half of Proctor Yard's tracks and the second track on Proctor hill."
SAY WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATT?!?!?
Iron Ore (well, technically, taconite now) hauling is just as Minnesotan as hockey, tundra wastelands, Common Loons, Pink Lady Slippers, wild rice, ice fishing, Garrison Keiller's "A Prairie Home Companion" and electing professional wrestlers as governors! Considering Minnesota supplies the United States with 2/3rds of it's iron ore/taconite, they'd be wise to hold onto that aspect of things and not do too much tinkering with it ("streamlining" operations is fine, obliterating it would not be wise).
Otherwise we'd have to retaliate by inviting the powers that be to a pot-luck and serve Lutefisk*.
* For those who weren't "bleesed" enough to be born of Norwegian ancestory or are from the Gopher State, Lutefisk ("Lye Fish") is cod that is preserved, in a dried state with Lye to keep it from rotting. The fish is prepared three days in advance by muliple soakings in water to leech the lye out of the fish, which is then baked or boiled. The end result being a soft, gellitan (Jell-O) like, fish flavored substance.
And, no, dispite being nearly 100% Norwegian-American, I do NOT eat the stuff.
